Yes, I’m back with the rules for these posts. I figure there might be someone who doesn’t know them!
Well, I wished for a good comic this weekend. I didn’t get it, sadly. Stinkin’ muties. Does anyone ever wish Bastion had succeeded in his diabolical plan?

Are there rules about these posts? Of course there are!
Did you ever wonder what a comic book on steroids would look like? Wonder no more!

Ground rules, as usual.

So the rules of these posts are here. You know the drill!
Today’s selection is weird. It is written by perhaps the greatest comic book writer ever, but if a first-time comic book reader read it, they might be turned off of the medium. What could it be? Read on …

I’m putting the ground rules for these posts first today. That’s just how I roll!
Today’s issue is Part 6 of 6 (or, as the splash page pretentiously calls it, Part VI). Where’s my trade paperback? Shouldn’t this be perfect fodder for that????

Today’s entry fulfills almost all the requirements that are needed to hook a new reader. Or maybe I’m just prejudiced because I liked it. We shall see!
The ground rules for these posts are here. But you should know them already!

Well, I’m done with the Seven Soldiers stuff, so I can get back into my weekend routine, which includes reading comics from years ago and judging them harshly! But then stupid Brad Curran comes along and steals my schtick! Boo, Brad Curran! However, he only looks at recent comics, whereas only I trawl deep into […]

I skipped this last weekend, and I’m sure there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments because of it! Well, fret not - I’m back, with yet another example of comic-book … well, I’d like to say goodness, but it’s always a crapshoot with these posts, isn’t it?????
(Hey, check out the ground rules […]
